    @virginmedia you owe me £241.47 in compensation for 45 days without internet service since the start on my contract (22nd July) and the 3 missed engineer appointments. I will be chasing this through @Ofcom. When Will you start providing the service you’re contracted to?

    Virgin Media should change their name to Virgin Media Outage

  • SustyPhilC
    Phil ******* (@SustyPhilC) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia any idea what’s going on with the network please? Can you at least make a statement? It’s been down since around 2am or thereabouts!

    Called Virgin Media to complain about the TV box not working and to get it removed from my package. Somehow ended up singing another 18 month contract with the TV box included but at a reduced price. Not ideal but not horrendous.

  • KateRenton
    Mrs R (@KateRenton) reported from Merton, England

    @Chelsea1504 @virginmedia That’s why we got rid of ALL providers, the customer service and costs were awful.

  • Phil_Swallow
    Philip 🦅 (@Phil_Swallow) reported from Croydon, England

    @redheadlass1402 @virginmedia We’ve got the business service but it’s no better. They don’t seem to have any proactive monitoring or fault prevention and pretty much don’t care. They have a 3 hour service level that passed 12 hours ago, totally useless bunch of money-grabbers

    @IanSlaterPhoto1 @VixThatRuns I have a sizeable Samsung. Ditched Virgin Media, the plan was to have Freeview. The tv doesn’t support Freeview!

  • AdamHMatthews
    Adam H-Matthews (@AdamHMatthews) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia How does £8.40 a day cover 2 people unable to work for a full day? Still no contact from Virgin engineer or any comment on what the issue is? The time to fix the issue just keeps getting later.

  • ninepine
    Mike Fuller (@ninepine) reported from Kingswood, England

    .@virginmedia - well done. Definitely the worst and most customer hostile new login system to my unwanted "Virgin Media O2 ID". So badly designed your email points to an invalid URL of to manage this insanity. Who approved or tested this? Total fail.

  • Champion3Claire
    Claire Champion (@Champion3Claire) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia I think you will have to agree this is an unacceptably long time for the repair as it’s already been going on for days?? “There's a TV issue in xxx. Thanks for your patience while we work to fix things as quick as we can. We hope to fix this by 14 March at 16:00”

    Nick Tippett (@nicktippett) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Pre install Refused to acknowledge any wrong, wouldn't get anyone to even attempt to look till 24th, cust. Service refused to engage as pre installs problem, so am left still with no Internet and no way to sort issues, plus having been spoke to rudely

    @virginmedia I don’t need to check it you guys have to check not me ! This horrible internet has been playing up for sometime and again today!!! All I want t know is when are you going to fix it?

    @virginmedia @RichMeader Could the web page be updated with the fix date please so people can plan accordingly?

  • bethcanadian
    Beth (@bethcanadian) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia I came home to it working so whatever you did to fix it, thank you!

  • MiaZagica
    Baltazarka (@MiaZagica) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia Never had we have such a terrible Internet service. Absolutely NEVER. "Can't find server.", for whatever page we want, day after day. Then it finds the server; next minute - puff! Gone! Absolutely abysmal.

  • Nigelellway
    Nigel Ellway (@Nigelellway) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia I have no broadband or phone, your online checker doesn't work and neither does your helpline. What's going on?

  • JoanaLoGomes
    Joana (@JoanaLoGomes) reported from Merton, England

    Hey @virginmedia. Any chance the Broadband issue is getting fixed soon in SW17? I’m working from home tomorrow, so this is a bummer really!

  • ravinrr80
    Ravin 🇹🇹🇬🇧 (@ravinrr80) reported from Merton, England

    Hey @virginmedia I already am paying more with this new package I was forced to take to renew my contract recently and now you want to force me to pay £7 MORE a month?! Also why can I not get a human on the phone?! I refuse to pay a penny more. Fix this nonsense.

  • Phil_Swallow
    Philip 🦅 (@Phil_Swallow) reported from Croydon, England

    @vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness Ah, so when there will be nothing to do or see you will become interested, is that the customer service ethos at VMB? Staggering, but not surprising

    Johnycantdecide (@ladydaveg) reported

    Diagnostic tests suck, the myvm app sucks, your ai at the end of the phone can't tell the difference between zero and three and I still can't speak to anyone. Is there anything you can do right? @virginmedia

  • JimMooreJourno
    James Moore (@JimMooreJourno) reported

    @Andycave @virginmedia Mate, we had them. They were just awful. We switched to BT. Much better. Yes Virgin Media made BT look good. Constant grief with Virgin. No problem with BT.

  • jhargie4
    john (@jhargie4) reported

    @O2 @virginmedia CEO Lutz Schueler been waiting 5 days for my DEALOCK Letter following your refusal to actually discuss my complaint before transferring to another service provider. New customers get better deals than 20 year loyal ones.

  • KookieG62
    Gwen Maynard (@KookieG62) reported

    @virginmedia Absolutely shocking service . Broadband and TV down since electrical storm on Thursday morning. Not fixed despite you saying otherwise. You keep cancelling the engineers to come to my home.

  • SonyRichards4
    lizrichards24 (@SonyRichards4) reported

    Here we go again, unable to cancel an old SIM card from @O2 and @virginmedia

  • Truthwills26171
    Truthwillsetyoufree (@Truthwills26171) reported

    @RakeLark @handsomedave32 @VirginMediaNews What personal issues, my disgust at the race baiting grifters and the morons who support them? If that’s a personal issue I’ll happily hold it. Where did I say it wasn’t a concern or problem? I stated facts about Virgin Media, & that many agencies can get state funds!

  • ThatFoxGoku
    ThatGoku (@ThatFoxGoku) reported

    Woke up to find #virginmedia broadband down again. Very disappointing as I have work to do online at home today. Might be requesting some compensation. I guess it’s time to switch provider.

  • Yvie777
    Yvie777 (@Yvie777) reported

    @virginmedia I am still waiting for my refund, despite multiple phone calls where you assured me it would be processed. I have yet to receive it. This experience confirms my decision to leave due to your poor customer service and unresolved issues.

    John smith (@smith_john33910) reported

    @LordDunners @ryantegan @skytv When I wanted to cancel Virgin Media they would not let me. I had to force a cancellation by withholding payment. Yes I got rid of Virgin Media..but it left a nasty “non payment” black mark on my credit rating. So beware!
